If you want to make a talk show ranking in the United States, then no matter what criteria you use to rank, the top five or even the top three can't bypass "Oprah Talk Show". That's the top level a black woman can do in the United States, and some have even suggested that she run for president. It can be seen that she has a place in the hearts of Americans.
Chen Tiandu decided to participate in a large-scale talk show this time, so he will naturally be well prepared.
It is not difficult to see the resentment in Oprah's heart, so at the beginning of the show, Oprah didn't speak, he apologized again and again, and sincerely put himself in the position of a variety show newcomer. "Hello Oprah, hello everyone, first of all I have to apologize for taking so long to respond to you, Oprah."
"Why apologize."
Oprah hugged him with a relaxed expression to welcome him, in fact, he was in a much better mood, after all, no one could feel sorry for a person who kept apologizing to him, and said with a smile: "You don't need to apologize, I just sent you an invitation, and the decision is yours." I'm not the president of the United States, and I say you can pick anyone up if you summon me. If I really want to apologize, then I should also say sorry. I thought I could invite you, but instead I disturbed your life. After speaking, he explained to the audience who didn't know the situation, and said: "You may not know much, I have sent him an invitation several times before, inviting Chen to participate in my show." It's a pity that they were all rejected, so there is such a scene. ”
What else can the audience do, it is enough for the applause of "pop pop".
Americans love stars with personality and just as much prefer humble stars.
Chen Tiandu said: "But I still want to thank you for the invitation, so I brought you a gift." ”
"Really? Thank you so much. Oprah's expression was overjoyed, and she looked at the black drawing board. Puzzled: "...... What is that? My gift. ”
Chen Tiandu nodded and said, "A painting." Do you know that my drawing skills are not bad? ”
"Of course. I see that you often show off your work on your blog, and your sketches are great. It is said that the director's scene script can be published as a comic? ”
Chen Tiandu suddenly became embarrassed, "How is it possible, then I'll just go and draw comics, it's easier than the director." In fact, in addition to sketching, my slippery level is also good. ”
Oprah stepped out of the way, "Okay, are you going to paint live?" How long does it take? ”
"One minute is enough."
"Uh-huh, a minute? Need us to time it for you? ”
Chen Tiandu spread his hands, pretending to be lacking in confidence, and said, "It's best to report to me in the last few seconds." The audience immediately bowed and gave him a goodwill applause.
Oprah was then dumbfounded by the audience, who painted on a piece of black cardboard, using only white and neutral orange. Hands danced quickly, splashing strips of ink onto the drawing board. But no matter how the viewer looks, they can't see what he's painting.
"Are you graffiti, why can't I see what it's drawing?" She is the host of the show. Even if it was only for a minute, she couldn't let the scene go cold. Chen Tian didn't look back. Pretending to be mysterious, he said, "You can guess." "He drew faster, but the things on the drawing board were more messy, and he didn't know what was going on.
The audience began to talk about each other, but they didn't see what he was drawing, and the scene was a little weird. Oprah still followed the schedule, reminding him, "It's ten seconds left, do I have to count down...... Five, four, three, two. ”
In the last two seconds, Chen Tiandu had already put down his drawing board and let out a long sigh of relief. As a novice to variety shows, his nervous expression can always make the audience laugh.
"Is that the end of it?" Oprah's doubts did not decrease, but increased.
"Of course. Why don't you take a look at it upside down? ”
Oprah didn't know why, and suspiciously turned the drawing board upside down, and suddenly the audience gasped, "Wow~ Papapapapa." There was no need to say anything more, and the applause and cheers rang out instantly. Even Oprah's eyes widened, "It's unbelievable that you actually painted a portrait of me in a minute." It's incredible, it's amazing. ”
"Thank you, I hope you are satisfied with this gift." Chen Tiandu said with a smile.
"Of course satisfied, there is no better gift than this." Oprah finally laughed heartily this time, "Can you sign me, I want to save it as a family heirloom, maybe this painting will become a sky-high oil painting in a few decades." ”
With this good start, this talk show has been unfolding in a friendly atmosphere. Oprah has been a talk show for more than ten years, she is a master of conversation, and she never embarrass guests.
The old story was brought up again, and he asked why he was reluctant to participate in talk shows before. Although Chen Tiandu has already explained in the "Ellen Show", there are still many new controversies, "Are you saying that you don't want to represent the American Dream and feel that you have been tricked, so you have a bad feeling for talk shows?" Why are you reluctant to be a representative of the American dream, is it because of nationality? ”
This is also the most enthusiastic report in the tabloids recently, nothing more than looking down on Americans and other remarks to smear him, Chen Tiandu said seriously: "This has nothing to do with nationality, it is purely because I don't like to be represented by anything." Although when I first participated in a talk show, I was still a penniless rookie director. But it never diminished my psychological status. I feel like I can represent anything good, but none of these things can represent me. Of course, I can also be a representative of the American Dream, but the person who has the American Dream cannot become me, and there is only one miracle like me in the world. What do you think? ”
Oprah thought back and found herself unable to refute, "It's a little arrogant, but it'...... Well, you did do everything that no one else could do, and maybe it won't be long before you overtake Steven Spielberg as the highest-grossing director in the world. You are unique. ”
Chen Tiandu shrugged, "I am sometimes surprised where my self-confidence comes from, but I have always believed that I can do it." My future will definitely shine brighter than it is now, and I don't like to be represented by anything, even those sky-high advertising endorsements. ”
"Oh yes, you haven't taken any endorsement ads yet. As a star. Why don't you take the ad? This is simply unthinkable in Hollywood. ”
Chen Tiandu pretended to be b: "The same reason." I can endorse any product. But these products don't speak for me. To put it mildly, if I were willing to accept endorsements, it would bring me nearly $100 million in additional income every year. I'm not short of money, and I've never thought about it. ”
The audience was full of adoration and spontaneous applause.
……
After the end of the "Oprah talk show", the topic of Chen Tian not accepting endorsements also became noisy. He also had the magical nickname of the painter of sketch oil paintings. This kind of handstand sketch portrait ability, if put in a few years. It can be played badly. Now it's definitely 100% fresh, and the B index is off the charts.
Later, on the "Jon Stewart Talk Show" (also known as the "Embarrassment Daily Show"), he played a brain teaser game with Embarrassment. "David Show" blackened himself together with the "David Ya Cha Su" in the eyes of the Chinese audience, because this "Uncle Big Tooth" often used himself as a laughing stock to please the audience, and Chen Tiandu was a master of self-blackening. Not long ago, he also used the mouth of the giant dragon Gregory to play a high-level self-blackening, which made the American audience deeply memorable.
"The Conan Show" is the most light-hearted and fun, with a lot of comedy episodes on his show and live performance by a backing band. Maybe he thought Chen Tiandu was very funny, and Conan O'Brien actually wanted to play a game of poker with him. As a result, Chen Tiandu grabbed the playing cards. Generously showed off a fancy card cutting and card pulling stunt in "God of Gamblers".
The magic technique directly made the audience scream again and again. Conan was shouting on the side. It's not fun.
Chen Tiandu's hand, or after watching "God of Gamblers", he felt very handsome, and later learned from the magician, he didn't dare to call himself a master, and said modestly: "It's nothing, a magician who is good at poker magic, many people can play this hand." If you're interested, I can teach you. ”
……
After this talk show trip, Chen Tiandu was really tired enough.
There are more gains to be gained, and the American audience has a more intuitive understanding of Chen Tiandu. will no longer follow the newspapers, because Chen Tiandu, who is shown on TV, is a young man with a real image. Treat people sincerely, although confident to the level of narcissism, but still have the humility unique to Chinese. Versatile, full of ideas, he is a little slow to react to American jokes so that he often does not respond, and when others have already moved on to the next topic, he suddenly laughs inexplicably. And so on and so forth.
And this series of face-brushing and tirelessly running all over the major cities in the United States to do propaganda has a huge publicity effect on "Pirates of the Caribbean".
At least Kayla and Heath successfully passed this face-brushing trip, and their fame soared rapidly.
What should have been done has already been done, and the outcome can only be left to God.
The time soon came on July 9th, and the matrix was already waiting for the preparation for the premiere of the film, which was finally scheduled in the AMC theater chain in New York. Premiering at the same time today, there is also "Fallen from the Sky" starring Sean Connery.
The latter is a veteran superstar who has been famous for many years, but if you talk about the attractiveness of the premiere venue alone, "Pirates of the Caribbean" beats "Fallen from the Sky". However, after all, the film depends on its own quality and commercial performance, and these will not have specific feedback until after the premiere.
The cool sea breeze swept across the streets of New York as the sun set brightened, dispelling away the remnants of the afternoon heat. At the entrance of the theater, the tourists who used to shuttle are gone, replaced by countless men and women holding posters, and the indispensable reporters with cameras.
It was July 9, 2003, and Thursday night was approaching, and while "Pirates of the Caribbean" would not be released in North America until tomorrow, the premiere would be the first to kick off in New York.
"Tiandu Chen, Heath Ledger, Keira Knightley, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Natalie Portman, ......"
The premiere did not invite other stars to come to help, but there are so many big stars who spontaneously come to help that they steal the limelight.
The cameraman pressed the shutter, and the female reporter next to him suddenly exclaimed, "Look, Alan just came to cheer and said in the past, and now Oprah actually came to cheer." "As long as the first-line big names have something to do with Chen Tian, almost all of them have arrived, and the premiere scene has completely turned into a red carpet show.
"It's all hype, and movies always rely on the box office to speak."
Polliwell, a reporter for the entertainment section of the New York Times, said disdainfully, "No matter how prosperous the red carpet lineup is, if the movie is not exciting enough, the audience will still not buy it." (To be continued......)
